Transformed into human form, Sun Wukong perceived the thoughts of True Martial Great Emperor.

He couldn't help but wonder, what exactly was it that connected them?

The True Martial Great Emperor wasn't one of his devotees, which logically meant Wukong shouldn't be able to sense him.

Yet he sensed him, just like those believers.

It was only when he stayed on the Northern Continent and confirmed the True Martial Great Emperor's memory restoration that Sun Wukong realized the reason.

Wanling Heavenly Dao.

The True Martial Great Emperor believed in Wanling Heavenly Dao, thus they could sense each other through it.

And since they could sense each other, did it mean that the beings slumbering within Wanling Heavenly Dao could also sense one another?

"Learning Wanling Heavenly Dao enables one to resonate with oneself in the Wanling Diagram."

Sun Wukong said to Ao Luan, "The specific methods still need to be researched. Have somebody thoroughly investigate this, as it's of utmost importance."

"Yes."

Ao Luan nodded enthusiastically.

The responses from those youngsters just now proved Sun Wukong's conjecture was correct.

If memories could be regained by learning Wanling Heavenly Dao, then the citizens of Wanling Country would soon be restored.

It would be much simpler than making Sun Wukong cry.

The day after this matter, Sun Wukong gathered everyone in Shuilian Cave.

"We must first take over the Northern Continent."

He said, "The affairs of the Northern Continent will be entirely your responsibility."

The crowd was startled, "Left to us?"

"This is a chance to showcase the power of Wanling."

Sun Wukong said, "How to capture demons and devils, how to conquer nations, how to build, it's all on you to take charge."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"Great Saint, wouldn't it be quicker if you did it?"

Water Virtues Star Monarch asked.

"Quickly doing so won't bring lasting influence."

Sun Wukong answered, "I want the world to know that learning Wanling Heavenly Dao is the way to change the Three Realms."

He no longer needed to show off his own strength.

"The future of the Three Realms will be forged by the wisdom and technology of Wanling."

Sun Wukong stated.

The crowd began to understand.

"Do your utmost and exert your strengths."

Sun Wukong said, "Create a brand new Northern Continent, show the Immortals and devils and everyone else... the strength of Wanling Country."

"Ohhhhh!!"

Realizing the plan, the crowd was suddenly excited.

So, Sun Wukong wanted them to display the prowess of Wanling Country!

"Wondering who will lead."

Many were eager at heart.

Sun Wukong rarely assigned them such a massive task, each wanting to perform well.

"Ha ha ha ha, good, very good."

Bull Demon King was the first to stand up, laughing loudly, "Great Saint, let me go, I'm done with making noodles."

The crowd turned their heads to look.

"Bull Demon King, to not make noodles anymore, that would be a terrible waste of your talent."

Immortal Master Erlang couldn't help but say.

"Hmph, I made noodles only because the Great Saint liked to attend to big matters personally. His presence alone was enough."

Bull Demon King snorted, "Now that the Great Saint is willing to entrust the Northern Continent to us, how can I not strive for it."

Many were swayed, viewing him in a new light.

"Big brother is always big brother."

Demon King Jiao, standing at a distance, whispered, "Clearly sister-in-law doesn't like noodles anymore, he wants to switch careers, and yet he can speak so righteously."

The other Demon Saints hurriedly signaled him to quiet down, not to let others hear.

"Great Saint, I think it's best to leave it to me!"

Immortal Master Erlang stepped forward and said, "I've been bored here, it's best if I take charge."

"Great Saint, leave it to us!"

The Plum Mountain Brothers also chimed in.

Sun Wukong thought for a moment. It has been a hard toil for the Plum Mountain Brothers to follow Immortal Master Zhen Yuan, so it might be better to let them return to Immortal Master Erlang's command.

"So be it, I leave it to you."

Sun Wukong said to Immortal Master Erlang.

The face of Immortal Master Erlang lit up with joy, and then Sun Wukong turned to the Bull Demon King and said, "You and Immortal Master Erlang complement each other. You may lead another group of people over."

The crowd was startled.

Sun Wukong did not offer further explanations and let them depart to select their own people.

"Immortal Master Erlang, being a Heavenly God, can pacify the nations of the Human Clan; Bull Demon King, being a Demon Saint, can pacify the devils... Indeed, it is an excellent pairing."

After everyone left, Ao Luan spoke to Sun Wukong, "The two of them are indeed capable of resolving disputes, but about the construction…"

"Of course, the Immortal will be in charge of it."

Sun Wukong smiled, "There's no hurry for that matter. I'll inform the Immortal in due time."

Ao Luan nodded. "It's rare for the elder brother not to take charge personally."

"In the minor world, while I was in slumber, didn't you all manage quite well?"

Sun Wukong spoke.

The fledgling bird had grown up; Wanling Country could now spread its wings and fly high.

Ao Luan revealed a smile, "Elder brother, you can rest for a while now."

"Mm."

Sun Wukong nodded, "I need to focus on cultivating my mind and calm my nature, seeking stronger power."

Without that greater power, he was not confident in dealing with the great calamity two hundred years later.

"Although the task is somewhat heavy, I entrust Wanling Country to you."

Sun Wukong said to Ao Luan.

"I know."

Ao Luan nodded, "Since elder brother expects it, I will certainly lead them well."

Later, another day passed, and a Floating Ship hovered outside Shuilian Cave.

"This is…"

Sun Wukong felt that the ship seemed strangely familiar.

"Owl, the Immortal has made it."

Immortal Master Erlang answered.

This was the Owl that Sun Wukong once had a brief encounter with.

"This ship possesses technology from two hundred years later, with thirty Floating Artillery Turrets. It does not need a harbor to hang in the air…"

Immortal Master Erlang introduced the Owl to Sun Wukong.

Instead of calling it a Floating Ship, it would be more appropriate to call it a warship.

Sun Wukong was a little surprised that Immortal Master Zhen Yuan made it so ahead of time.

"Did he foresee this day coming?"

Sun Wukong pondered, stretching out his hand to touch the Owl, memorizing all the data on it.

Beyond the data, he also checked its condition; it seemed to have no abnormalities.

Since it is the Owl, the ship's captain is naturally the owl.

Sun Wukong saw the transformed girl with big eyes.

"Are you also going to the Northern Continent?"

"Yes, no one is more familiar with it than I am."

The owl nodded.

She was delighted that Immortal Master Erlang was bringing her along; this might also be the opportunity to earn his true recognition.

"Great King, would you like to witness its power again?"

The owl asked.

"Mm…"

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, "We can try it out first."

Although the check found nothing unusual, he was also a bit concerned. Making the Owl so much in advance, there might be some issues.

"Sail!"

Following the owl's order, the Floating Ship set off with ripples of spiritual energy, flying out beyond Huaguo Mountain.

The demons of Huaguo Mountain all turned their eyes to this peculiar Floating Ship.

In the past life, the power of this ship was never truly demonstrated, but in this life, the Owl can show it off to its heart's content.
